What is a benchtop DC power supply?

common problems 5470

A benchtop DC power supply is a power supply that is mounted to an engineer's workbench for use. It usually has a large, legible display and user interface to allow the engineer to easily achieve full control of the power supply from the front panel. Users can also control modern benchtop power supplies through software. In addition, engineers can easily access the output terminals from the front.

The Variable Benchtop Power Supply is a convenient tool for testing circuits because you can adjust the voltage at any time. If your project has specific voltage requirements or you haven't finished the power supply portion of the design, a bench power supply can help.

  • What are spectrum analyzers used for?

    701

    Spectrum analyzers measure the amplitude of an input signal versus frequency over the entire frequency range to determine the power of the signal. Spectrum analyzers are capable of performing tests such as noise figure and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to characterize the performance of a device and its contribution to overall system performance. For more information, see the application guide Spectrum Analysis Basics. ,

  • How to use an arbitrary waveform generator?

    549

    Using an arbitrary waveform generator, test engineers can verify the design of a circuit in just a few steps: (1) activate the output control; (2) select the waveform to be generated; (3) connect the output to the device under test; and (4) verify the performance of the device under test using an oscilloscope. The following is an example of the design of the output control circuit.

  • What is alternating current (AC)?

    482

    Alternating current (AC) is a type of electric current whose polarity reverses periodically and whose amplitude varies continuously over time. AC power is often used in businesses and homes because it is cheaper and more efficient to generate and transmit than direct current (DC) power. During transmission, a transformer can reduce power loss by increasing or decreasing the voltage of the AC line. Alternating current (AC) is a form of household electricity -...
